The annual fundraiser from New York City food rescue program City Harvest is back—and for BID 2026, it's transporting attendees to a much groovier decade. The theme, Peace, Love and City Harvest, sets the tone for a "mod-inspired evening" filled with the "glamour, groove and effortless cool" that's often associated with the 1960s. The organization—set to rescue 100 million pounds of food this year, locally and nationally, and deliver it to hundreds of food pantries and soup kitchens across the five boroughs—has invited nearly 50 chefs and mixologists including Yoosoo Park (Atoboy), Eric Valdez (Naks), SK Kim (Coqodaq), Stefano Secchi (Rezdôra, Massara), Emily Yuen (Yingtao) and more to provide tasty bites and sips for everyone as you dance the night away and bid on a silent auction.
There is a long—very long—list of hosts and co-chairs, some of whom you may recognize: Tom Colicchio, Kristen Kish, Simon Kim, Antoni Porowski, Eric Ripert, Gail Simmons, Andrew Zimmern, Katie Couric, Neil Patrick Harris, Busy Philipps, Andrew Carmellini, Desus Nice and more.
Taking place on Wednesday, October 28, at The Glasshouse (660 12th Ave.), the fundraiser is a big-ticket event—pricing per person ranges from $2,000 to $100,000. The least pricey "Can You Dig It" ticket gets you a basic 7pm entry, while the six other pricing tiers offer varying degrees of VIP treatment, with perks like premium tasting hours, private bars, meet-and-greets with the chefs and more. Still, even your measly $2,000 is making a difference (according to City Harvest, it will help feed more than 1,000 NYC families for a day). The goal is to raise enough money to help feed 4 million New Yorkers. Guests must be 21+ to attend.
